Black Blocks In Text
-
Could you share the SKP file with me? I'll try it on my computer and see what I get. What font are you using?
-
OK sent off to you Dave, and I'm using Comic Sans MS text. Just tried two others and no change ..
-
I'm getting it on that text box, too. I can't see anything as far as a setting to change.
-
yeah me either Dave but Oh gawd I've infected you now!!
-
it's a weird, thing, too. I tried making another text box manually typing the same text and got the same black block. I can't seem to create another file in which it happens, though. I've tried several times and it always seems to work fine.
-
Another odd thing is that it isn't always there. I just orbited the view and exported.
I did find something that I think is related. The ground group container was painted with the gray glass material while the face is painted with the concrete material. I removed the gray glass and the black box went away.
I don't know why the gray glass material had that effect but I also don't know why you painted the group with it.
By the way, the face is reversed on the concrete. You should really not leave back faces exposed.
-
Darn, I thought you nailed it with the grey glass texture, but I tried removing it and got the same text issue.
thanks for digging in to this Dave!
another thing is, I export these at 6000 px wide, and if I drop that to 2000, no black boxes.
-
Nuts! I didn't catch that the export size got reset. Shoot!
-
So Folks, does anyone have any more ideas about this?
-
Joe, you bought, why not do the labeling in layOut?
